Member Since: June 2006 Posts: 85 Send Message	Hi there Trying to track more on a Catherine Portman – born 1877 Ipsley, Warwickshire, England. Daughter of James Portman and Harriet Wells. I can find the Birth record and 1881 census but nothing afterwards ( looking or Marriage and Death for her and I cannot find either) She has a sister Elizabeth who married a George Willis (this is the couple I am researching and have birth and marriage dates) in 1896. The had 2 kids Lizzie and Emma. Now there is a rumour that George married or lived with Catherine before marrying a 3rd women called Maud. I cannot see a death cert for Elizabeth either – even tried to see if she had remarried? So, 1. Can anyone find anything more about Catherine? 2. Can anyone see if there is a death cert for Elizabeth or perhaps she remarried? Any help gratefully received Cheers Gaynor
